355ml can - the latest in their kettle-sour series, this time made with cryo Citra and Ekuanot.

This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some decent dispersing fog bank pattern lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, wet chalk, muddled domestic citrus peel, lacto, and some plain earthy, musty, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a tart generic citrus fruitiness, faint soured milk, a damp minerality, and more leafy, floral, and piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its palate-boring frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for that sense of grittiness distracting from the ideal at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to falter against the lingering hops.

Overall - I don't know whether I can say if this offering is more hoppy or sour, as it's kind of a balanced blend of both. Crisp, refreshing, and pleasant enough to throw back on another afternoon during the current DEEP, DEEP FREEZE DAYZ!
